between her husband and one OF the ladies OF
the court Stephanie left Ischl hurredly and
without communicating hor intention to any
one. Evory effort will OF course be made to
bring her back. and to hush up such a scandal
as royal personages, no longer rs popular as
they wore, can III afford to have attached to
them. Stophanie Ia q very young and amiable
princess. Hor hair. II tho highly colored pic

great deal OF It. She fs plump young person
OF good figure. liked by those around her, but
quick tempered, as her sudden flight proves,
for there is no doubt about her having boted
home to her father. The only possible doubt
Is as to the cause Of her anger.
Stephanie was married In 1881. when only II
years old Her husband, among his other titles.
enjoys that Of Doctor OF Philosophy. which he
may find the most useful Of all now.
This unpleasant incident In an imperial fam
lily had an exact counterpart long ago. Just
after the marriage Of the Grown Princess Of
Germany she discovered hidden away In
the room Of her husband fine set Of
emornlds. While abe was waiting for
Prince Frederick to surprise hor with his
thoughtful present, she cav the jewels repos-
Ing on the bosom OF a lovely young girl In her
own suite. This confirmed her dim suspicious,
and on the spot sho started homo to Windsor
to tell her troubles to her mother. Queen vic-
toria Luckily Emperor William overlook his
angry daughter-in-law before she reached
Calais. promised all sorts Of things, especially
seedlings for Fritz. and turned her wrath into
forgiveness. II Is to be hoped, and 1t is even
probable. that a peaceful settlement will DO

The event Of interest in France is the mobili-

quarters Of which are at Toulouse. The Idea
is to test the speed with which enormous
bodies Of mon can be got together In perfect
fighting condition on short notice. The scene
OF tho experiment has wisely been laid near
the Spanish frontier. rs far as possible from
the great centre Of international irritation in
Europe-Alsace and Lorraine Tho result OF
the experiment will be eagerly awaited as evl.

made. 1t will probably be difficult for the poor
public to form an opinion. however. for already
the authorities are quarrelling as to what re-
suits are possible. and to obtain anything like
a general opinion from the wise mon when 1t
is all over will. OF course. be out OF the Ques-

Poor little Prince Ferdinand. formerly OF
Coburg. now Of Bulgaria. has reached that
stage in his search after romantic adventures
when. like the dime novel-fed American boy
who goes to look for Indians, he wishes he
were home. He finds. first Of ALL that Bull
garia Is not much Of place. and. what Is WORSE
that the people are disappointed in him. and
do not want him as much as they did. Tho
few big men of the country whom he invites to
help govern politely decline. and among those
! who have not been asked to take office q
scheme has been planned to murder him. The
nations simply keep quiet. and the support
which the good -natured young Prince hoped
for Is missing One OF these days the Russian
bear will get utter him to rebuke his impu-
dence. He cannot help knowing that now his
life is not nearly so happy as when 1t was given
over to collecting birds and giving dinners.

time, and who went with his master to Pasteur
for treatment. is still alive. but anxious. as
may DO imagined. 1t 10 remarked that another
noted case OF the failure Of Pasteur's treatment
was that Of the Russian peasant bitten by
wolves, and It Is suggested that perhaps the
system does not hold good for animals other
than dogs.
